Could it be osteoarthritis or the weight of your legs from lymphedema that's affecting your knees? I recommend consulting a vascular surgeon for evaluation and advice.

A lymphedema clinic in the area will be best, in order to be able to work with a lymphedema therapist as well as a general physical therapist in increasing your strength in the lower body. Your primary care doc will be best to coordinate based on local resources.
